  PrintmakingFor ten years printmaking has been a large part of my life and practice. Similar to my passion for 35mm film I enjoy the risk and mystery that comes with printmaking. A majority of the works you can see are about protesting against particular views and values in politics.

  Photography35mm film photography for the majority of my practice has been the backbone of my work. Approached with a Fine Art perspective it is one of the most pure and spontaneous creative processes I use.

Film photography is important in my practice because the mystery of not knowing the images I have until the are developed is exciting
